Posh was spotted traipsing through Heathrow this weekend with the new Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Fur Tassels messenger bag. “New” as in, so new it hasn’t even hit stores yet! Seeing as how this thing is LV, it’s going to be worth more than your life. But what makes it even worse–and even creepier?–is that the bag is festooned with a real fox tail.
I’m not an animal rights fanatic, but still, they are making 35,000 of these bags, which is 35,000 foxes that had to get their tails hacked off for a bag that’s not even that attractive.

I would never ever ever wear fur.
guest
errr… thats just creepy.
dead animal hanging on your bag..
guest
poor foxes… I would never buy a bag like that. not that I’m a PETA member or anything, but it seems so senseless to take a fox tail that is just for decoration. I wear leather and sheep skin jackets, but next to looking hot they provide warmth during cold days. A fox tail on purse does nothing!!
guest
BADDD. wearing fur is bad.
don’t hurt animals for their parts.
“its NOT okay”. lol
oh gross. why would anyone want a fox tail anyways? its body part! :O
*shivers*
guest
Wow…that’s not cool, IMO.
guest
i actually really like that bag, but why oh why must they use real foxes? i’m also not particularly pro-animal rights, but i can’t get over that.
but i bet the knock-offs will use faux fox tails
guest
I would never wear fur.. only faux fur.
And that bag isn’t even attractive!!
guest
the bag’s ugly, and I would never wear fur.
guest
That bag is ugly. Adding the fox tail just makes it soooo much worse.
And i would never wear animal fur, it’s grosse. So i definitely wouldn’t want an entire foz tail dangling from my bag :/ weird x
guest
Are they sure it’s a real fox tail?
Wtf is that shit?
Not only is it hideous, it’s inhumane.
guest
what the fuck?!

jesus, even if they were going to use a fox, like why would they kill the poor thing for this hideous as hell purse. what’s really good lv?

That purse is ugly. And I cant stand it when people kill animals for reasons as vapid as this purse. So horrible and so sad.
guest
That’s disgusting. And ugly.

I have a fake fox tail and its just as cute, if not cuter pshh

i just read that it’s a fake fox tail…..
guest
i like the look, but i don’t like the dead animal. but it’s not like we could ever convince louis vuitton to use fakes… knock offs here i come.
guest
gross!! if it is real, LV should be ashamed!!
guest
if it`s a fake fox tail then I would totally buy it
so cute and fluffy

Ugh, that’s not cool.
guest
just curious if any of you ppls who condemn wearing animal fur wear leather. leather shoes, leather purses, leather lining in your jackets, suede boots anything. because if you do you are all just full of shit. its one thing to feel its wrong to wear real fur and another to blatantly say that these people are disgusting.

And to think VB used to be my idol for not buying fur. You may not be wearing it Vicky but it still had to die! That looks so fucking TACKY. I looks like they kidnapped the fox & it’s in the bag….wtf,…
guest
She really is a bitch, an ugly scrawny bitch with an ugly bag. She looks like a boy and has the body of one.
daisy / 613 posts
@purple_cuts@xanga - I was just thinking the exact same thing! I just did a simple google search, and some [biased, I bet, sources] say that animals raised for fur have to be killed in crueler fashions to preserve the integrity of the fur.
Leather comes from cows and such that are already being killed for food, so it’s more of a “by product.”
But those people who are so disgusted by fur shouldn’t be really wearing leather or eating meat if they’re really going to take that “holier than thou” track.
guest
That’s gross.
guest
I may HATE PETA, but I still don’t like when people wear fur. I could never do it, unless it’s faux fur, I’m fine with that of course.

That’s fucking disgusting, killing animals for fashion and sport makes me want to vomit
and it’s a disgusting bad to begin with

i would trip over that thing in a heart beat.

Thats cruel.
guest
i like the bag – just not the fox tail that comes with it
orchid / 205 posts
@Imnotcrazyjustinsane@xanga - Why should ppl disgusted by fur not wear leather or eat meat? I don’t really get it. Animals killed for fur are just raised and killed for no other reason then to give us fur when we can use other sources. Leather like you said was a by product, why should we waste it? And eating them for food is well….food. I feel like that’s different. I mean I’m a veggie but I have no problem with people that eat meat if that’s their choice. I don’t feel like if they’re against fur they have to stop eating meat. There is humanly raised and killed meat out there.
sunflower / 266 posts
I doubt it’s a real fox tail. That would be sick.
guest
@stuipdthing - i think shes commenting on the irony that ppls are hating on ppl who wear fur when at hte same time these haters are using or eating other products that come from killing animals, whether it be leather or meat. so if you are going to hate on one thing and not the other when both result in killing animals then you are just being a hypocrite and thus your disgust is unjustified and comlete bull shit.

wow. thats fucking messed up. its like shark fin soup, except sharks are endangered
orchid / 155 posts
I hate the fact that somebody would kill an animal just to “look nice”, especially when it looks like shit and will be out of style soon. Complete and utter bullshit.
guest
the bag’s not bad, but not something I’d carry around. I like simplicity when it comes to purses.
anyway, I have NO problem with wearing fur(or attaching a fox-tail to a bag). one day, I’d like to own a nice pair of alligator-skin pumps, for example. and maybe a mink stole. maybe.
I truly cannot stand all of the self-righteous anti-fur whiners.
(on a side note, VB is fabulous).
guest
I mourn for my fellow canines

I would never wear fur. I always seem to think it would suddenly come alive and attack me, same with those real-looking stuffed animals some outdoor stores. =S
guest
“Hm. I want people to know I have money, but how to do it? Well, I could get a Louis Vuitton. No, that’s too easy. I’ve got it! I’ll randomly fasten a fox’s tail to the bag! That’ll show ‘em!”
Seriously?
That’s not cute in the slightest.
orchid / 205 posts
@purple_cuts@xanga - Yea I don’t agree with you, sorry
There’s a difference between eating an animal for nourishment and using leather when leather is clearly a bi-product and it’s better to use it then have it be waisted
and just randomly killing an animal to stick it’s fur on something when there’s absolutely no need too
I don’t think it’s hypocritical. It’s like being okay with testing products on animals for medical research but not cosmetic research

@greenbird321@xanga - You don’t see a problem with killing a life for fashion? I don’t understand people who think like that =/

Disgraceful. And to think I actually thought VB and LV had class.

The bag isn’t even that cute and there’s nooooo reason to use animal fur.

NO. No fur. Not a fox tail. That’s fucking ridiculous. I hate that people would kill animals for fashion. Especially expensive shit like that. Give some of that money to the poor starving children in China, or the kids with AIDS in Africa.

wtf?! that is not cool. that is so wrong. i don’t wear fur or leather. NO ONE but the ANIMALS should.

i love LV but…that fox tail is going abit far. i love animals.

are we even sure that this is REAL fur? i don’t see any sources.
and just for the record, i *loathe* PETA, *love* VB, too poor to even look at LV, and hate all animals (alive OR dead, so why would i wear one), but my fave is the pig because they’re cute/funny and DEY TASTES GUD.

UGH
guest
i would never wear fur or leather if its real. that’s just disgusting. animals have feelings too and the thoughts of killing something for no good reason just appaled me. like someone else said before, there’s no reason a fox tail should be there. it doesn’t even make the bag warmer or wtv. it’s just stupid. i love fashion but the downside of it is, these kinds of shit. why marc jacobs why???
guest
@purple_cuts@xanga - Agreed.
I know I have at least a few leather purses, let alone a couple pairs of shoes made with leather/suede. One may argue that leather is not wasteful because the cow was killed anyway for food, but the cow still had to die anyway to be their hamburger or steak. I think if people are going to bitch about leather they should stop eating the meat or shut up because that cow died regardless if they’re against leather jackets.
As far as her purse, it seems like a waste of money. And are they seriously making that many? Shit, it’s not really that cute. But as far as fur goes, I like to keep in mind that, historically, people have used fur for warmth for ages. Nowadays, we don’t need to resort to animal fur, and I can’t see its function on that bag other than decoration. That being said, I’m not about to go all apeshit about some vapid, super-wealthy former Spice Girl buying a bag with a fox tail. It’s sad that the foxes are dead, but life goes on.

@purple_cuts@xanga - i completely agree.

that’s horrible…. but i eat meat.. but still a fox? awwwww….
guest
PLEASE, PLEASE be faux fur. My heart hurts right now. </3
The things people do for a damn BAG that’s going to go out next season? Effing disgusting. Those poor things died for nothing. Not to mention, the tail literally has no PURPOSE of being there!
For people saying that we wear leather shoes, etc. At least those have an actual purpose. The tail..does not.
guest
“Victoria Beckham turned even more heads than usual yesterday as she strode through Heathrow airport sporting a Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2010 collection logoed messenger bag with fake fox tail charm. We’re loving Posh’s black tank top, skinny jeans and high heel outfit – it definitely shows off this super-covetable bag to best effect.” – Style Junkee
The other bags they have are really cute. This one’s kind of umm gaudy lol.

poor foxes :’(

That’s just unattractive.

That purse is hideous. And yeah wayyyy too much money for those poor foxes. I’m not a huge animals rights fanatic but I wouldn’t wear fur. It’s sad if you think about it. Maybe I should be an animals rights fanatic. Some things are just so wrong that us humans do!
guest
i know so many hipsters who wear the fox tail. people have been wearing it since last summer. its one thing if the animal is already dead, but to kill so they can get bags made out of them is terrible..foxes are too cute to be murdered!
guest
That’s fucking terrible.
guest
OH COOOOOOL i want a purse with an extension of a spine hanging off the end!
nottttt. this is so wrong.

That is truly tacky.
sunflower / 494 posts

Eh.. it looks like a poorly placed oversizedkey chain. I don’t care if people use animals for decoration like that. I go to leather stores around town to buy tails and heads and bones and things for making my jackets look more “mad max” style. Normally the foxes are restricted hunting and the hunting normally influences the environment for the better. This depends on the country, of course.
I hope peta dosnt freak out over this. I HATE peta. I would rather strangle a thousand cute bunnies to death than hear about any more of their bullshit.
guest
That is hideous in SO MANY WAYS.
guest
I’m not a huge animal rights person either, but I’m against wearing fur and this is just gross! Foxes are adorable!!! 35,000??? That’s 35,000 cute little foxes dead and tailless just so this hideous purse could be made! Louis, if you had to put a gigantic piece of fur dangling off your bag, why can’t it at least be fake? Poor Todd…

so is it real fox fur designed to resemble a tail, or is the whole thing faux? i’m so confused

This bag is UGLY…and makes to sense to do the foxes like this

yes, kill all the damn foxes ¬_¬ fucking teach them for taking my bunny rabbit!!
guest
I’m not so much of an anti fur fanatic either, but honestly? Why would you want a tail on your bag even if you’re pro fur? It’s not a bad purse otherwise, but the tail just looks hideous.
On the “animal activist” side, I can’t believe they’re hacking up that many precious animals for THAT of all things. What the hell.
guest
@Jessica - As in they chopped off a real fox tail…nothing on it is faux.
magnolia / 1066 posts
This is disgusting. I hate companies that use real fur. Not that I have the money to purchase LV anyway, but if I did, I would boycott the shit out of them.
guest
thats just wrong.
guest
This bag is awesome. I would buy the bag if it didn’t cost so much. The bags come in green, purple, and orange.
guest
LOVE.
Fuck y’all
guest
I don’t see why you would use real fox tails especially when there are such good faux recreations I don’t see why it’s necessary. As for the person who asked if people wear leather, well, you use a lot more of the animal when you wear leather, this is just the tail of the fox. There isn’t really a market for any other parts of the animal.
guest
umm why would anyone buy that, the tail doesn’t even seem to match. it’s like an oversized rabbits foot
guest
I really could care less if people wear fur. It’s their choice. What makes fur so different than say snake skin, ostrich skin, alligator etc? The bag is hideous. I would never carry it even if I could afford it. I’ve owned fur before and would do so again if I move some where cold enough and I see a coat that I like.
guest
what the fuck is that shit?
guest
Sick.. only a mindless fashion freak would actually buy a bag like that. It’s ugly. An animal got killed to make it.
guest
thats fucking disgusting in my opinion
guest
Ugh.

guest
That’s repulsive…
guest
In general I think it’s already an ugly purse but adding the foxtail just made it worse. I believe animals were put on this earth to feed us, not for us to wear. We have so many choices in clothing/purse material it’s really not nessecary to use animals for it. I’m not some huge anti-animal fur activist or anything like that either. I just wouldn’t buy anything with real fur & no, not leather either. I think it’s almost tacky.
guest
that is so horrible…

@Jessica - It’s a real fox tail.

A FOX TAIL BELONGS ON A FOX!

I would NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER wear fur. It’s really not fair that animals have to get their fur taken away just so celebrities/rich people have some nice fur to wear, when they could just wear fake fur. That is perfectly fine. GRR!
daisy / 613 posts
@stuipdthing - I just meant that if they’re having a reaction to that extent, they should just go the whole 9 yards. I don’t like it when people get so exaggerated over these fine lines like “I love leather, but fur is just SO DISGUSTING” or “I have oral sex all the time, but nonvirgins are all FILTHY WHORES.” Do you kind of get where I’m coming from? These people are getting so enraged over small details and technicalities.
Animals raised for meat [and leather] are also raised in horrible conditions [unless you buy organic]. On the other hand, I bet it’s not impossible to find sources of fur that’s raised well and killed humanely.
guest
Hate it.

i probably would never wear fur, primarily because i can’t afford it and i don’t think it’s right. but i have no problem with other people wearing fur. but this is a disgusting, blatant and rather tacky use of fur. i agree, that bag is damn ugly. i actually think it would look better without the tail. and maybe there would be 35,000 more foxes left in the world.

thats really just excessive. they could have done it with faux fur…or heres an idea, dont put a fox tail on there at all? whats the point??
guest
Why can’t people just wear fake fur?
guest
somehow.. the dead look suits her. I would wear a recycled fur but I think the practice of killing animals just for their fur should end. 35,000 fox tails for a crappy looking bag is a crime
guest
I actually really like the bag and the tail…well, I’d like the tail if it was fake. Even if they were selling them for a 1$, I still wouldn’t be able to purchase one unless it was guaranteed that the fox tail was fake.
guest
why cant they make a fake tail. D:

The bag sucks! And that’s going way to far! I guess if they use the rest of the fox fur, but it’s not like we need fur to keep us warm anymore so it’s just cruel.
guest
That makes me really sad. Fox tails look like the tails of some people’s dogs they have as pets.
guest
I thought those were fake. It seems kind of crazy for it to be a real fox’s tail.
guest
No! Leave the foxes alone! And Victoria Beckham is gross.

I don’t normally give a fuck about animals..
but that is absurd.
guest
eeeeek a whole fox tail is horrendous, they probably rip it off pretty brutally :/ poor foxies
guest
wtf.
guest
I think this is big bull.
guest
Well, first of all, it looks retarded on a bag.
I don’t wear fur, I don’t even really like wearing foux fur, but sometimes I make exceptions.
My friend, Holly, on the other hand, loves fur (mostly because it’s fluffy) and has purchased two tails. One was a racoon tail, the other a silver fox. Granted my friend is into anime and some cosplays call for tails so it wasn’t that odd. Also, Renesaissance Festivals sell them, and people dressed in garb will wear them there, too. I still think it’s weird, but at least these costume-wearers are wearing the tails as an accent to their body, not their handbag.
I don’t agree with it, per se, but I guess in these respects I can see it’s purpose? I don’t agree with hacking off a tail and attaching it to a designer bag, though. Animal body parts are not key-chains…
guest
its a fake fur, so what is the fuss about?

uhm… what.

UGly, Awful ! It’s so stupid to kill animals for fashion >< (in fact, to kill animal for all the reasons of the world)
guest
That’s just unnecessary…
guest
While I don’t see eye to eye with a lot of things with animal rights activists, this is something I can. Fur for fashion is HORRIBLE. Using the hide of an animal you aren’t planning to eat is also bad, in my book. I realize people love their furs, but I much rather it be from animals are dead because of reasons beyond “just to get their fur”.
*I realize this is a ridiculous comment, but I remember when they had to shoot all those tigers (the image still haunts me) in Ohio and I said (and people gasped) that they might as well make rugs or something out of them, auction them to rich people who have Cruella de Vil taste, and then donate the money toward a legitimate zoo and any funds needed to petition for stricter laws in the keeping of animals. Brilliant right?
